Those of you who still use windows for one reason or more, where do you draw the line about the shitty things microsoft is doing? By drawing the line I mean using some other operating system no matter how bothersome it might be.

Not judging or anything, i’m just curious where the general mindset is about it.

    I have Windows 10 for games, but it’s firewalled so hard that it can’t check for updates or do any of its other shady stuff. I can’t even install components like WSL, because that works through svchost, the single executable doing too much.

    I’m using Simplewall for that. The prohibitions for MS shenanigans are a couple checkboxes in the menu.
